Trusty decision 'difficult to understand' - Rohl

"Rangers head coach Danny Rohl says it is "difficult to understand" why Celtic's Auston Trusty was not sent off in Sunday's League Cup semi-final for a "dangerous" challenge. The defender's foot appeared to catch Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland in the head as Rohl's side trailed 1-0. The head coach did not want to comment on Trusty's challenge immediately after the game, preferring to praise his players despite their 3-1 loss in extra time."

"Rohl was asked about the matter again as he prepares his side for Thursday's Europa League visit by Roma and was still unclear why the Celtic centre-back was shown a yellow card instead of red. "I think this is maybe for me a little bit too difficult to understand," the German said. "For me, it doesn't matter if it's from the side or the front. A kick against the head is always dangerous, because you could injure your opponent.""

""I think you have always two sides," Rohl said. "The refs have their side and they're looking for the rules and we have our side and how we see something. "It's a little bit more difficult with hand ball as there's so many rules with hand ball: is it this angle, is it that angle. But the tackle was difficult to understand. We got the red card, our opponent didn't.""

Danny Rohl said it was difficult to understand why Celtic defender Auston Trusty received only a yellow card for a dangerous challenge. The defender's foot appeared to catch Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland in the head while Rangers trailed 1-0. Rangers will seek talks with the Scottish FA and met head of referees Willie Collum, but the club said it remains unsatisfied with the explanation given. Rohl noted the perceived injustice was compounded by referee Nick Walsh earlier sending off Rangers midfielder Thelo Aasgaard for a high tackle on Anthony Ralston. He praised his players despite the 3-1 extra-time loss.
